- Copy search-result.tpl.php into your theme folder..
Override above tpl using below code..
<?php
/**
* @file
* Default theme implementation for displaying a single search result.
*
* This template renders a single search result and is collected into
* search-results.tpl.php. This and the parent template are
* dependent to one another sharing the markup for definition lists.
*
* Available variables:
* - $url: URL of the result.
* - $title: Title of the result.
* - $snippet: A small preview of the result. Does not apply to user searches.
* - $info: String of all the meta information ready for print. Does not apply
* to user searches.
* - $info_split: Contains same data as $info, split into a keyed array.
* - $module: The machine-readable name of the module (tab) being searched, such
* as "node" or "user".
* - $title_prefix (array): An array containing additional output populated by
* modules, intended to be displayed in front of the main title tag that
* appears in the template.
* - $title_suffix (array): An array containing additional output populated by
* modules, intended to be displayed after the main title tag that appears in
* the template.
*
* Default keys within $info_split:
* - $info_split['module']: The module that implemented the search query.
* - $info_split['user']: Author of the node linked to users profile. Depends
* on permission.
* - $info_split['date']: Last update of the node. Short formatted.
* - $info_split['comment']: Number of comments output as "% comments", %
* being the count. Depends on comment.module.
*
* Other variables:
* - $classes_array: Array of HTML class attribute values. It is flattened
* into a string within the variable $classes.
* - $title_attributes_array: Array of HTML attributes for the title. It is
* flattened into a string within the variable $title_attributes.
* - $content_attributes_array: Array of HTML attributes for the content. It is
* flattened into a string within the variable $content_attributes.
*
* Since $info_split is keyed, a direct print of the item is possible.
* This array does not apply to user searches so it is recommended to check
* for its existence before printing. The default keys of 'type', 'user' and
* 'date' always exist for node searches. Modules may provide other data.
* @code
* <?php if (isset($info_split['comment'])): ?>
* <span class="info-comment">
* <?php print $info_split['comment']; ?>
* </span>
* <?php endif; ?>
* @endcode
*
* To check for all available data within $info_split, use the code below.
* @code
* <?php print '<pre>'. check_plain(print_r($info_split, 1)) .'</pre>'; ?>
* @endcode
*
* @see template_preprocess()
* @see template_preprocess_search_result()
* @see template_process()
*
* @ingroup themeable

<?php if ($snippet): ?>
<p class="search-snippet"<?php print $content_attributes; ?>><?php print $snippet; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</li>
Author / date / number of comments from the search results is getting rendered using below code
<?php if ($info): ?>
<p class="search-info"><?php print $info; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
which we removed from above overridden tpl....
You can also remove it using below function in your theme template.php
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_search_result(&$variables) {
$variables['info'] = '';
}
